We want to commemorate one of the brightest lights that has ever shined on this small earth with a scholarship. Jack Wakinyan Oyate de Leon was that wonderful person. He was born on February 22, 1999 at 6:26 in the morning. He returned to the stars at 6:55pm on April 7, 2016.

In his short life, he accomplished these things:

As a star football player, Jack volunteered and rocked nearly every position in both offense and defense. Jack played the drums when he was 6 and by the time he was 9 he had taught himself how to play Mozart's Piano Sonata No 11 (Ronda Alla Turca) by ear. Jack loved all music. Jack was one of the top players in the world at "Bike Race" and "Call of Duty". He taught himself how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube in under 20 seconds, but he could also solve a 7x7. He ran a 5:38 mile after 4 weeks of training as a freshman. He was grading quizzes for his teacher in his Calculus class as a Junior. He bought, fixed and sold 10 motorcycles and 7 cars so he could buy his own car and his own motorcycle. He was in Math club, a  National Hispanic Scholar, a member of the National Honor Society, and scored a 1380 on his PSAT this year. He was waiting to hear back from the summer program at M.I.T. any day now. He taught himself how to be a good writer and was going to help his father write a book. He wanted to become an engineer so he could build spaceships, cars and motorcycles. We all love you Jack. The world loves you. This isn’t everything he did and there was so much more for him to do. He never stopped moving, he was never satisfied. So when you feel the wind in your face, that’s him running with you. When you see a red star in the night sky, that’s his fire burning, When you hear the thunder and the rain on your skin, When you feel inspiration in your heart, when you hear music stir your soul, And you have that desire to do something great and wonder, where does this come from? That’s Jack touching you, egging you to get up and do something better, Something great. Something wonderful.
